Oct. 13, 2016 | Hurricane Daily Digest for Employees

These summary messages aim to compile important updates from a broad range of sources covering a wide variety of topics related to Hurricane Matthew recovery efforts. Our goal is to gather these resources in a central location throughout the recovery stages, at least on a daily basis, to assist our Extension employees with accessing the information they need during this challenging time. Additional information is available on Extension’s N.C. Disaster Information Center.
